Question 3 of 30

Mathematics
1 answer:
nadezda [96]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

(C) 10.4 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

If Paul added each weight before adding, as you state, he got:

Apples     3.78 ⟶  3.8

Peaches   2.12 ⟶  2.1

Oranges  4.45 ⟶ <u> 4.4 </u>

                    Total 10.3 lb

If he did it this way, he did it <em>incorrectly</em>, and his answer isn't in the list of options, anyway. That's because his method introduces round-off errors.

The correct way is to add the numbers as given, and then round off <em>at the end</em>.

Apples     3.78

Peaches  2.12

Oranges <u> 4.45</u>

   Total  10.35 ⟶ 10.4 lb

Note: When you drop a 5 f<em>ollowed by nothing</em>, you round off to the <em>nearest even number</em>.

On a trip, a motorist drove 150 miles in the morning and 50 miles in the afternoon. His average rate in the morning was twice hi
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Morning's average rate = 50 mph, and Afternoon's average rate = 25 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose he drove 150 miles for X hours, then his average rate in the morning was (150/X) mph.

Given that he spent 5 hours in driving.

And he drove 50 miles for (5-X) hours, then his average rate in the afternoon was 50/(5-X) mph.

Given that his average rate in the morning was twice his average rate in the afternoon.

(150/x) = 2 * 50/(5-x)

150/x = 100/(5-x)

Cross multiplying terms, we get:-

150*(5-x) = 100*x

750 - 150x = 100x

750 = 100x + 150x

750 = 250x

x = 750/250 = 3.

It means he spent 3 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon.

So morning's average rate = 150/3 = 50 mph.

and afternoon's average rate = 50/(5-3) = 25 mph.

How do I solve this using elimination?<br><br> 80x + 45y = 645 <br> x + y = 12
sergeinik [125]
X + y = 12  / x (-45);
Then, -45x - 45y = -540;
We have 80x + 45y = 645 and
               -45x - 45y = -540
            ________________
                35x           = 105;
Finally, x = 105÷35;
x = 3;
y = 12 - 3;
y = 9;
